Love this…Sidebottom has already tweeted that “Checkers is dead to him “bring on KB. Unbelievably so has Tom Morris giving it 5 stars …

Had Jemma Rigoni signed with Collingwood ?

Isn’t our intra club against North at Casey on Friday Feb 20 at 4.30 pm. Casey Demons are playing Richmond earlier & it’s a big fun/family day ?

Members pay $5 …non members $20

No but there is no way you get in the ground without a ticket so the joys of Ticketmaster it was

I got tickets today …nightmare. I don’t know whether it has now been fixed but you could only access Ticketmaster on your laptop ..not your phone …

Great read about the discussion of our under 22 yr brigade. Mentioned all of them really even those who we haven’t seen play too much. Very bullish about them & thinks they should be the basis of our next tilt. All positives there tempered by expectations. There were another 15 questions ..they do a very deep analysis of our whole team …it’s very well done. One question was re Petty going back & he was unequivocal in his support of Kings decision to send him there . One of the best decisions he feels. Will help the set up of May?/Lever etc & feels that by getting Miochek we can now do this. In all I felt it was very a positive analysis especially with our recruiting and younger players. Holds the same opinion as a lot of our posters… we have a lot of promise & have done a lot right & it depends on how our senior/younger players play as to where we will finish but future is bright

Next Kalani White. Discussed how he is “heir apparent” to Max & has some super attributes but will take time. Max has to do it all for as long as he can ..get another AA blazer. Thinks Heath is a good pickup

6 basically covered the loss of Oliver & Trac. Whilst acknowledging they were our 2 best midfielders…the arrival of Rivers ..Langford & Windsor plus Viney will offer a diff look. Also said they were both dreadful with ball in hand so feels it’s a win/win situation..

Sorry ..i realised a little late. I assume you can paraphrase the article ? I’ll post Question 6 and if It breaches anything I guess you’ll remove ?

I agree with all of this. In fact I’m hoping King just puts the best player available any position on the field each week. He is a MFC player & deserves our support. The next weeks will show whether his body stands up but his experience is invaluable to our younger defenders.

I guess I don’t believe established senior players with many preseasons behind them struggle with this as much as younger players. You just have to look at the Pies current injury list & they do have many senior players with Maynard just added who have missed or are missing big chucks of preseason but are still being touted as doing well. It won’t be long until we see how it all plays out ..

So of our main senior players on the sidelines (& best 23) ..I’ll give you Viney & Melksham both well over 30 & I’d still say that Melksham is more likely to come in at some stage possibly not Viney. Other senior players e.g. Gawn & Miochek (who is now in full training) will def be in the team early rounds..Gawn is super fit & again at 34 he will have no problems once his finger is manageable. All players miss a week or 2 over preseason so I think we’re relatively healthy. The bonus is the preseason form of some of our senior players e.g. Lever & Salem. There may be plenty of reasons we may not do well (I’m a bit more positive) but I can’t see Viney & Melksham being one of the reasons.

Fantastic…I will enjoy watching these many times..thank you

In the match sim..it was on the website & YouTube ..it was Monday …I think JVR kicks to maybe Jefferson & Petty pulls up & does a little hop but it’s obvious he felt something. However he played the last few minutes so Ithought he was ok. However he has now missed the next 2 sessions so maybe it is something. It looked like his foot ..very easy to spot if you watch the footage
